TFS 2012 - WI Query in TFS Web Access - History field contents appear with html tags presented as text

Question

When History field is selected as a column to be displayed in a WI query result, its contents are displayed with the HTML tags as if they where text, e.g. <p> contents </p>... 
This occurs when query is run in web access contents in IE and when result is sent via email from within TFS (there's a button for this purpose).
However, in Visual Studio 2012 the same History Column contents are shown without the tags, as one would expect.
Furthermore, when one clicks on Open In Microsoft Office, for this query results in VS, and selects result in Excel, the History column in the Excel appears empty.
The only way we found to bypass this issue for now, it to mark all the query result lines in VS, and right click for "print selected list..." to a virtual PDF printer. This way the result looks reasonably ok when History field is included.
Kindly advise, Thank u very much.

Hi Moital,  
Thanks for your post.
As far as I know history content will display with the HTML tags if there’s multiple lines in content, and History content not support show in Excel, that’s by design in TFS Server.  
As Clementino said, you can submit this scenario in connect site, Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously.
